Psalms 79:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 79:5

3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem,
And there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our ^aneighbors,
A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

5 ^aHow long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your ^bjealousy burn like fire?

6 ^aPour out Your wrath on the¹ nations that ^bdo not know You,
And on the kingdoms that ^cdo not call on Your name.

7 For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his dwelling place.

8 ^aOh, do not remember¹ former iniquities against us!
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
For we have been brought very low.

9 Help us, O God of our salvation,
For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
^aFor Your name’s sake!

10 ^aWhy should the¹ nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight
The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

11 Let ^athe groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your¹ power
Preserve those who are appointed to die;
